If you are a regular reader, you know that I have a real affection for something I call word twisting. This is where I take a word and slightly alter it to create an entirely different meaning. I should also mention that this is not something I do deliberately. It’s just something that happens inside my active mind whenever I see certain words or phrases, and I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember.

A case in point is today’s topic: The title of this article is Thin King, but it originally began in my mind when I saw the word thinkingin an email message I was reading. Let me explain.

I was responding to an email from a woman who said she desperately wanted to lose weight, but she claimed that her “…old, unhealthy thinking kept getting in the way.” As I read her comment and saw the word thinking, I immediately took that word apart in my mind and had the following thought: To all of you who are interested in losing weight and living a more wellness-oriented life, the key to becoming a Thin King can be found in your thinking. I know, I know… I need to get out more. But you have to agree that you can’t change anything in your life until you change the way you think about it.

This bit of word twisting makes a lot of sense, and I’m willing to bet that it got many of you thinkingabout being aThin Kingor aThin Queen. If that’s the case… mission accomplished!
